"Demonic light shines everywhere, the Demon King's Mine opens!"
As a timeless, ancient voice resounded, a dazzling black light suddenly appeared above the continuous mining mountains. This black light was immense, and finally condensed into three large black characters on the tallest mine in the very center of the mountain range:
Demon King Mine!
With a thought, Luo Chen appeared at the foot of the Demon King Mine Mountain Range with the mine slave Du'e.
There are many mines here, seemingly formed naturally. Luo Chen looked around, then had a thought and wanted to check the situation inside this Demon King Mine.
However, a thought struck him: Hmm?
What's going on with this thought again?
To Luo Chen's surprise, he discovered that within this Demon King's Space, his mental power was unable to perceive the situation inside the Demon King's Mine!
"Damn! System, what's going on? Why can't I see what's happening inside the Demon King Mine?" Luo Chen was very surprised.
Logically speaking, in the Demon King's Space, Luo Chen is a god! Theoretically, he should be omnipotent, but now he can't even check the Demon King's Mine, which is really strange.
"Host, the Demon King Mine belongs to another dimension, which is equivalent to an independent spacetime, and therefore it is not under your control," the system's ethereal voice explained.
"Another dimension? Does that mean everything inside is beyond my control?" Luo Chen felt somewhat displeased.
"Yes, that's why we need mining slaves to help the host mine. Of course, right now they're just novice mining slaves, only able to mine ores. Once they evolve into intermediate, advanced, or even master-level mining slaves, they'll be able to mine much better stuff!"
The system continued its explanation.
"What? There's something better? Does that mean this mine isn't just a mine, but a treasure trove?"
Upon hearing the system's words, Luo Chen immediately became excited. Mining alone is not fun at all; if he could dig up treasures, that would be truly amazing!
"Pretty much. In short, this Demon King's Mine is definitely a huge treasure trove. There are other things that the host doesn't have permission to know yet, but you'll understand when the time comes," the system said.
"..."
Luo Chen pursed her lips and stopped asking, knowing she would find out sooner or later anyway.
Luo Chen looked around and chose one of the larger mines, then led the miner Du'e inside.
The moment Luo Chen stepped into the mine, he felt as if he had entered another dimension. The surrounding air was like the cold flames of the deepest hell, penetrating to the bone and extremely cold!
Even with Luo Chen's current strength at the early stage of Qi Condensation Realm, he was unable to withstand the invasion of such cold air. In just a second or two, white frost appeared on the corners of Luo Chen's mouth, and he shivered incessantly.
"Damn! Aren't you cold?"
Luo Chen turned to look at Du'e, only to find that Du'e was acting as if nothing had happened, and was looking at Luo Chen with a strange gaze, as if to say, "How did you get so frozen?" Luo Chen looked Du'e over and immediately realized the problem...!
Chapter Seventy-Two: The Consequences of Having Disloyal Hearts
The green miner's helmet on Du'e's head emitted a faint green light, completely protecting him from the surrounding cold air.
Luo Chen was immediately filled with anger. Damn it, I'm freezing like a dog here, and you're so comfortable.
So he grabbed it and took off Du'e's miner's helmet.
The bone-chilling cold immediately seeped into Du'e's body, causing him to shiver uncontrollably and freeze solid on his lips, turning him into a dog instantly!
Luo Chen laughed heartily and was about to put the miner's helmet on his own head, but then he suddenly saw the color and felt it was unlucky. He then put it on Du'e's head instead and commanded, "From now on, you'd better work hard here and mine. The more you mine, the more rewards I'll give you!"
"Yes, Your Majesty the Demon King."
Du'e was a very perceptive person. Now that he was under someone else's roof, he had no choice but to bow his head, so he immediately nodded devoutly.
call!
Another invisible wind blew out!
The wind was invisible, yet incredibly sharp. It immediately slashed Luo Chen's arm, leaving bloody cuts that made him wince in pain.
On the other hand, Du'e was completely unharmed; this miner's safety helmet was truly amazing!
"Fine, I'm not going to stay here mining anyway, and whatever treasures Du'e finds, he'll have to give them to me. I'm heading out now!"
Thinking this through, Luo Chen quickly retreated from the entrance of the Demon King's Mine.
As soon as he stepped out of the cave, he felt completely relaxed. With a thought, Luo Chen immediately healed all the wounds on his body that had been cut by the wind blades.
Luo Chen tried to contact Du'e and found that he was already heading into the mine.
Moreover, Luo Chen discovered that this miner's safety helmet had another function: it could actually be used as a surveillance camera, providing 360-degree high-definition monitoring with no blind spots...
In other words, no matter what Du'e is doing inside, Luo Chen can see it clearly through this miner's safety helmet.
"Since the system says there are many treasures here, one miner won't be enough. We should start the first mining slave selection competition as soon as possible!"
With a thought, Luo Chen immediately appeared in the Prisoner Fighting Arena.
There are seven people in the large cage at this moment: Zhang Sanfeng and the Six Heroes of Wudang.
To begin the selection competition for mining slaves, at least fifteen late-stage Innate Realm experts are needed. Therefore, at least eight more are still needed.
However, Luo Chen was very clever. With a thought, he immediately wanted to resurrect the Ming Cult masters who had died in the previous fight, as well as the monks Du Jie and Du Nan.
But this time, Luo Chen miscalculated again.
The moment the thought of resurrecting those people crossed his mind, the system's voice echoed in his mind: "Host, those people have gone to the Demon King's Hell. If you want to resurrect them, you must go to the Demon King's Hell to retrieve their souls."
"What the hell? What is Demon King's Hell? Where is it?"
Upon hearing this, Luo Chen exclaimed, "Damn, even hell is included? This is interesting!"
"Host, Demon King's Hell is not yet open, but it's on its way," the system replied, then added, "Of course, you can forcibly open it by spending one hundred Demon King Cards. Do you wish to forcibly open it?"
"Damn, where am I supposed to get a hundred Demon King cards? They know I'm poor and they're just asking me that on purpose. They're really making fun of me!"
Luo Chen rolled her eyes. Even if there weren't that many Demon King Cards left, there would be no need to use them for this.
Anyway, the system says that Demon King Hell is on its way to opening, and it's only a matter of time before it opens, so why waste Demon King cards?
Luo Chen had already made up his mind. If there weren't enough people for the time being, they would wait for the Persian Ming Cult to come and capture some strong people so that they could start the second selection competition for mine slaves.
He looked up and saw Yang Buhui crying sadly beside the large cage where the seven Wudang people were imprisoned. She was lying on the edge of the cage, trying to hold hands with Yin Liting inside.
Meanwhile, Yin Liting inside was also trying to reach out and grab Yang Buhui's hand.
However, the large cage was covered by a layer of light shield, preventing communication between the inside and outside. Therefore, no matter how hard the two tried, they could not touch each other.
A mocking smile appeared on Luo Chen's lips as he instantly appeared beside Yang Buhui, grabbed her soft chin, and coldly snorted, "As a demon slave, you actually disobey the rules of slavery!"
"Yang Buhui, you are now my demon slave. Without my permission, who the hell allows you to talk to other men!"
Luo Chen roared and immediately threw Yang Buhui to the ground. He then took the Enslavement Whip and lashed it several times, tearing Yang's skin apart.
He then glanced at Yin Liting and said, "If you don't want Yang Buhui to be beaten to death by me, you'd better kneel down and admit your mistake right now!"
"You!" Yin Liting was furious. How could he not be heartbroken to see his beloved woman being beaten like this?
"Lord Luochen, you've gone a bit too far!"
"You devil, release Miss Bu Hui at once!"
……
The seven members of Wudang were immediately filled with righteous indignation, finding it hard to believe that Luo Chen could do something like hitting a woman.
But who is Luo Chen? He is the Demon King!
"You dare talk back? Damn it, I'll beat her to death!"
Having said that, Luo Chen's enslavement whip lashed Yang Buhui's body hard, making a crackling sound as the skin was torn and flesh was ripped apart.
Upon hearing this sound, the hearts of the seven members of Wudang clenched.
But when Luo Chen heard this voice, the Demon King's blood boiled with excitement, as if it were an unparalleled pleasure, almost addictive!
Yang Buhui, with her delicate skin, could not withstand Luo Chen's brutal beating. Her face turned pale, and cold sweat poured down her forehead. A terrible scream, as if she had been through hell, came out of her small, innocent mouth.
The sound made Yin Liting kneel down on the ground with a thud, loudly saying things like "I'm sorry, I was wrong."
The others couldn't bear to watch any longer and quickly knelt down, begging Luo Chen to show mercy.
Seeing that everyone had apologized, Luo Chen stopped. Then, with a thought, Yang Buhui's injuries were completely healed.
"You little wench! Let me tell you! You're my slave in life and in death! If you ever dare to have any disloyal thoughts again, I'll beat you until you scream in agony!" With that, Luo Chen disappeared with Yang Buhui.
Chapter Seventy-Three: Taking the Initiative
With a swift movement, Luo Chen appeared beside Zhou Zhiruo, handing her the enslavement whip he had summoned earlier, and said, "Keep whipping her, whip Yang Buhui too! Damn it, this is what happens when you dare to be disloyal to this Demon King!"
After saying that, Luo Chen threw Yang Buhui over as well, so that she and the nine holy maidens lined up in a row, including Xiao Zhao, making a total of ten people, who were then whipped by Zhou Zhiruo!
“Master, if you want them to remember this even more, I think you can use chili oil and red wax oil. With both oils applied, plus the whipping, it will definitely make them remember it forever!” Zhou Zhiruo held the enslavement whip and earnestly suggested to Luo Chen.
Upon hearing this, Luo Chen's eyes widened, and he looked at Zhou Zhiruo with surprise, praising, "As expected of my number one demonic consort, I was right about you. I'll do as you say!"
With a wave of his hand, Luo Chen conjured up a multitude of red candles, wax, and other items—everything imaginable!
Upon hearing this, the nine holy maidens and Yang Buhui all revealed extreme fear and hatred in their eyes.
If hatred could kill, Zhou Zhiruo would probably have been killed several times over by now.
Then, Luo Chen left the Demon King's Space.
Outside the main hall of Wudang Mountain, a thousand young maids were still practicing the splits. Some of them were naturally very flexible and easily managed to do the splits.
Some of them had less flexibility, so the pressure was quite painful. But despite the pain, they had to continue pressing under Luo Chen's will.
Moreover, the thousand young maids were covered in whip marks and their skin was torn and bleeding. They were practicing the splits while suffering unbearable pain. It was an incredibly painful experience!
Luo Chen waved his hand again, and his original army of over 1,200 demon puppets appeared beside him. After being treated by Luo Chen in the Demon King's Space, the injuries of these demon puppets had been completely healed.
Including the little maids in front of him, Luo Chen now has more than 2,200 demon puppets.
With the number of demonic puppets getting closer and closer to three thousand, it would be absolutely impossible for Luo Chen not to have any ideas!
"Ding! Demon King Training Quest triggered - Expand the Demon Puppet Army, with a minimum of three thousand members!"
As Luo Chen was pondering this, the system suddenly issued this task.
"Wow, just like the saying goes, 'Speak of the devil, and he appears!'"
Luo Chen clicked his tongue, thinking to himself that this matter was somewhat troublesome, because nowadays, the only sects with female disciples were the nunnery and Emei, and he had almost enslaved both of these sects.
Expanding the number of demon puppets again is indeed a troublesome matter.
However, Luo Chen had a good habit of asking questions when he didn't understand something, so he immediately asked the system, "System, do you have any good suggestions?"
"Host, you can go to Yuandu. Yuandu is full of beautiful women, and the maids in the palace are all selected from a young age. They are all virgins and are the best candidates for demon puppets!" the system replied.
Upon hearing this, Luo Chen slapped his thigh and shouted, "That's right! Yuan Du, how come I didn't think of that! Damn it, Emperor Shun of Yuan was the last emperor of the Yuan Dynasty. He was licentious and his ministers were also greedy. So there must be as many beauties in the palace as stars in the sky!"
"Damn it, I'm going to Yuandu to pluck stars from the sky!"
With a goal in mind, things become much easier!
However, Luo Chen was not in a hurry to set off. After all, no matter how weak Yuandu was, it would definitely have many experts stationed there. And the main force of the Persian Ming Cult was still on its way. If they chose to go to Yuandu to capture people now, they would be attacked from both sides by Yuandu and the Persian Ming Cult.
Therefore, Luo Chen decided to eliminate the Persian Ming Cult first!
After enslaving the eight holy maidens, Luo Chen learned through forcibly controlling their will that the Persian Ming Cult was much stronger than the Ming Cult branch at Bright Peak.
Actually, the main reason is the powerful saintesses with the eight major attribute bloodlines, because only these eight saintesses can join forces to use such a powerful formation as the Saintess Scattering Flowers Formation.
What the Persian Ming Cult leader didn't know was that these eight holy maidens had now become slaves of Luo Chen.
In addition, the Persian Ming Cult has many experts at the late stage of the Innate Realm, and nearly five at the early stage of the Qi Condensation Realm! These are the five great Dharma Kings who protect the cult!
The sect leader, Yang Caotian, is a super strong expert at the mid-stage of the Qi Condensation Realm!
That's right, his name is Yang Caotian, and he is Yang Dingtian's cousin!
Both of them were exceptionally talented in martial arts, which is why they achieved such great success!
If Luo Chen didn't know the strength of the Persian Ming Cult, he would have been a little more cautious. But now that he knows the Persian Ming Cult inside and out, apart from Yang Caotian, who needs to be paid special attention, anyone else coming here is practically just giving the Golden Lion Beast free food!
However, Luo Chen did not intend to wait for the Persian Ming Cult to arrive, but decided to take the initiative to attack!
Five days later, on the western road, the Persian Ming Cult was making its way towards Wudang Mountain in a grand procession. In the procession, the Ming Cult leader Yang Caotian was sitting in a sedan chair, holding a beautiful woman in his arms, looking very happy.
"Report! Master, the Holy Maidens have returned in triumph!"
A Ming Cult spy rushed back and knelt before Yang Caotian's sedan chair, loudly reporting his findings.
Upon hearing this, Yang Caotian's face showed disdain, and he said indifferently, "As expected, the lowly people of the Central Plains are truly pathetic! What about the Holy Maiden Zhao? Has she been rescued?"
